The phrase brings up in my memory "You take the high road and I'll take the low road and I'll be in Scotland a fore ye." High road might be taking a positive outlook on life.Tanyahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00858446371419879296noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3421792039330671346.post-29408099265992058512011-01-28T21:32:14.786-05:002011-01-28T21:32:14.786-05:00I didnt realize that this was why you named your b...I didnt realize that this was why you named your blog, The High Road Quilter...Perfect! I am always telling my children..that when I die if they remember anything, let it be that I taught them to take the high road!! So it was ironic to read your post. Now when I read it, I will always think of taking the High Road:) My children are both adopted. So I was interested in seeing this segment of Oprah as this new sister had been put up for adoption. I was absolutely amazed with Oprah's program and the grace with which both she and her new sister, Patricia revealed this news in such a public forum.O'Quiltshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15350950712546652314noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3421792039330671346.post-68472234177412043652011-01-27T12:07:08.172-05:002011-01-27T12:07:08.172-05:00I taped that show and watched it.

Absolutely amazing story and I have to hand it to her sister Patricia for having kept this information to herself and not exploiting to the news media for quick cash etc.<br /><br />Take the high road to me is letting go. Why bother dwelling on something that you know you are in the right about....just let it go and move on. My example is my sister who borrowed $2000 from me over 8 years ago to get out of a bad relationship. Never let family borrow or you must take the high road!Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3421792039330671346.post-78539986367682482652011-01-26T22:11:35.521-05:002011-01-26T22:11:35.521-05:00Well - I don't watch Oprah, can't stand he...Well - I don't watch Oprah, can't stand her. Nothing personal, I just can't stand celebrities [and that includes politicians on both sides.] <br />Taking the high road - not letting my anger or emotions get the better of me, and considering the feelings of those around me before I speak or act. That's what it means to me.Alliehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06877277586697593998noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3421792039330671346.post-33013881279259570542011-01-26T12:24:19.326-05:002011-01-26T12:24:19.326-05:00Verra, verra good post!
I too have been pondering ...Verra, verra good post!<br />I too have been pondering Oprah's secret reveal. I think of the courage it took on her sister and mothers part. The sister's search was to find her mother, and finding a sister too, Oprah, was a bonus. Who knew. I admire Oprah for the honesty, compassion and sharing the epiphanies of her journey in this event. <br />Taking the High Road to me is letting the sunshine around me shine through me. When I gather up my talents, and stretch the undeveloped ones I get closer to this desire of my heart.Shirley--Knot-y Embroidery Ladyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15994365376163617844noreply@blogger.com
